Finished the upper brown paint color. I did chipping using maskol, just need to wait for the paint to completely dry for a few hours before I remove it all, started a little pre-maturely and it was pulling away too much paint.
I pre-shaded first with flat black, then put on a base color of a 1:1 mixture of XF-10 and XF-59 to make a tan-brown color. Then I very lightly post-shaded a 1:2 mixture of XF-10 and XF-60 to fade the original color a little bit. I also highlighted the flaps with a lighter variant of the base color by adding more XF-59 since the flaps were made from covered fabric.
Once I get the bottom done I'll gloss coat it with future. I only have two decals to add to it since I airbrushed the stenciling. I'll do a medium-grey wash over the entire model, then I'll seal everything up with a flat coat. Not going to do any other extensive weathering, though I'm thinking about doing some salt-fading at the very end.
